Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef (85% lean recommended)
Liquids and Seasonings:
- 1/3 cup (79 milliliters) whiskey
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a scorching hot skillet or grill surface to achieve maximum caramelization on the meat.
- Gently shape ground beef into uniform patties, delicately seasoning with sea salt to enhance natural flavors.
- Coat cooking surface with a thin layer of avocado oil to prevent sticking and promote even searing.
- Place meat patties onto the hot surface, allowing each side to develop a robust, golden-brown crust for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Create a bold flavor enhancement by combining whiskey and soy sauce in a small mixing vessel.
- Generously baste the sizzling patties with the whiskey-soy glaze, ensuring complete coverage and deeper flavor infusion.
- Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes per side, carefully monitoring internal temperature to achieve desired meat doneness.
- Remove burgers from heat and allow them to rest briefly, enabling juices to redistribute throughout the meat for maximum tenderness.
- Transfer to serving plates, ready to be garnished and enjoyed with complementary condiments and accompaniments.
Notes
- Opt for high-fat ground beef like 80/20 chuck for maximum juiciness and flavor depth.
- Avoid overworking the meat when forming patties to prevent tough, dense burgers.
- Create a gentle thumb indent in burger centers to help them cook evenly and prevent bulging.
- Consider using a meat thermometer to ensure precise doneness without cutting into the patties.
